Speaker: Nitin Lamba and Suhas Gogate, Ampool Big Data Applications Meetup, 09/14/2016 Palo Alto, CA More info here: http://www.meetup.com/BigDataApps/ Link to video: https://youtu.be/tGfPKYizZWY About the talk: Anomaly detection is a very common pattern used not only in financial transactions but also in finding abnormal behavior in health monitoring and IoT. What’s even more common is multiple analytical tools used in data science (Python, R, Apache Spark, to name a few) especially in large multi-tenant environments. Enterprises spend a lot of time moving & copying data to cater to these needs. Instead of having disparate back-end systems feed these tools, a simpler approach is to separate the concerns for compute and fast data serving. In this talk, we will walk through such an anomaly detection use-case, where an in-memory data service layer serves hot, high-value data to different tools from a single, scalable cluster. This not only reduces data copies but also mitigates operational complexity (less number of moving parts). We illustrate how a single data flow can use these multiple engines, making timely actionable insights a reality, and run concurrent analytics workloads at in-memory speeds.
